Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SXT) is a valuable second-line antimicrobial agent to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections. Discrepancies between various antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) methods for SXT susceptibility in S. aureus have been described. Here, we describe a hemin-inducible heteroresistance phenotype in S. aureus. We compared the results of the Vitek 2 AST on a set of 95...
